Question
My child is a 9-year-old boy. Initially, he felt pain when drinking water and swallowing seemed a bit difficult. He also had a low-grade fever. How should I treat the high fever in my child’s tonsillitis for the best effect?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, the first choice of treatment is to use antibiotics, while also considering regional treatments such as tonsil washing, internal medication injection, and laser therapy. If the main symptom is throat pain, oral painkillers can be considered; if accompanied by fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible for high fever patients. If the condition frequently recurs, surgery may be considered. At the same time, pay attention to giving your child appropriate diet and rest arrangements to help them recover sooner.
